iGaging 8 in Digital Outside Caliper

Work perfect.

This product arrived earlier than expected. I used it to gauge the actual width of my orthotics. The price seemed reasonable and the product is made well additionally they added a secondary CMOS battery for future use. I noticed the company was located on the West Coast and this was one of the main reasons why I purchased from the company.

This is a really great addition to the wood turning corner of my shop. When turning long pieces, I frequently turn both ends to the diameter I want (plus a little extra to account for sanding), and then work towards the center. If the piece is tapered (like a pool cue) I will calculate what the diameter should be at several places along the piece. Then turn each point to the appropriate diameter, and then "connect the dots" by turning the sections between those points. This digital outside caliper is fantastic, because the calculations usually end up being numbers out to several significant digits. I can set the diameter with this tool very precisely. The only reason I have not marked it as a 5-Star item is because when placing it on the turning piece, it is possible to have the setting get a little enlarged by pressing too hard when checking my progress. You have to turn the set screw really tight to avoid this from happening, and I worry about wearing out the threads or the sliding arc that the set screw binds against to fix the setting. So, I use this tool to set the diameter, then transfer it to a set of conventional outside calipers to actual checking the progress at each point. Serious wood turners, THIS is a fantastic tool for the price!

Purchased for bowl turning. Heftier than I thought. Easy to use.

Work perfect it’s accurate and quick. Easy to read at night and the day. Well worth the money.

Ever wanted to know the thickness of glass used for a fish tank? This is your key to the answer! Fish tanks often have trim that keeps you from using a standard caliper on it. But with this, I can measure the glass without bothering with the trim. My only problem with it is that the measurements get so accurate, that it will change very quickly if there is ANY angle to the tool what so ever, while trying to measure. So 11/16th's may turn into 23/32nd's with the tiniest least-noticeable twist of the tool. And glass is often measured in "standard" sizes, even if they are off by a millimeter. So it's best to get to know the standards of thickness for what you are measuring so you can get it as close as possible to what you're reading.

Actually works very well and the legs are metal. I wish it would have come with a case.

I use this when turning down metal on a lathe. Works good in tight areas. Doesn't stay firm as I would like when using. But good for quick check of diameter.

Handy to have

Makes things a lot easier coming up with measurements

i had a different model of this before but it got damaged. this was the closest replacement but with the added handle and trigger action. works excellent, just dont buy this with "high" accuracy in mind! it is not accurate like a typical set of calipers are. and its not intended to be. plus or minus .010" is about as accurate as you can expect. i knew this and use it accordingly. for me its more of a comparator with dimensions. make comparing very fast. especially when needing to find the smallest area. love it. inexpensive. easy to use. if you know what you need and this fits that bill, you cant go wrong. excellent purchase.
